JOS - Scope

The Journal of Simulation is published 4 times a year by Taylor & Francis on behalf of the OR Society. The journal aims to publish both articles and technical notes from researchers and practitioners active in the field of simulation. Within JOS, the scope of the field of simulation is taken to include the techniques, tools, methods and technologies of the application and use of discrete-event simulation in a wide range of domains including, for example, manufacturing, service, defence, health care and commerce.

Additionally, this scope includes topics that although not "mainstream" in nature, can be of interest to the simulation community so long as the link to simulation as outlined above is clear.

Particular interest is paid to significant successes in the use of simulation, and methodological and technological advances that represent significant progress toward the application of simulation modelling-related theory and/or practice. Also welcomed are: practical applications that highlight insights into the contemporary practice of simulation modelling; papers of a tutorial nature or papers that largely review existing literature where they make a definite contribution to the field; papers based on empirical research, such as questionnaire surveys, controlled experiments or more qualitative case studies.

Shorter technical notes on aspects of any of the above will also be considered. Major topic areas of interest to JOS include:
